Hello ,

Can someone plz help me about CSS tips and tricks …

My site is open 3 days now... i got some members whitout any publicity, cool,

but i want to put my site into : …. “ guests can not view site”..... for a while to test... ( i know how to do that, but have an other question)

Cause now i think if people can see everything now ... .. why would they sign -up then....

Now my questions are :

i searched up in the forum how to put a back ground pic behind the sign-in box...( if i put my site into : guests can not see site)

i know also that you must first upload a pic in grafics ( i did already ...image16 ) on my site , then take the url from that pic and put it in :

body.ow.base_sign_in {background-image: url(THE URL YOU GET) !important;background-repeat: no-repeat;background-position: center;background-size: 100%;}

i went into Css , but don't find that line …or did i miss it 6 times by searching in css...

i use oxwall 1.7.2 (showcase theme )

can someone help plz... so i can switch to both options to test my site and see how guests react on that .... i'm not into coding , php, so i prefer first to wait on reaction how to do this.

don't dare to change stuff in css...

Yes, there's no such line in the base.css file as it is custom css styles you used. You're using here the parent and child classes to create an element of your own. As the background on sign-in is used on other website pages.

You need to apply this style in Edit CSS area here: www.yoursite.com/admin/theme/css

Did it work for you Paul?

I tried but can't add a background image. I think it's because there is a space between ow and base in class ow base_sign_in in the source code of the login page.

there's no space. there's a dot

Hi Ross

I don't see a dot in my login page. It says

<body class="ow base_sign_in">
for non IE8 browsers.

I was just trying to help, I don't need that background image. I thought there could be no spaces in a class. My mistake

Cheers, Marc

Hello Marc,

thx for reply,

Sorry for delay,
I didn't do it yet ( tried),... changed my mind , cause i wanne leave my site open for a while, thought about a permissions wall also for guests, but then google doesn't absorb it in their google index ( when a site is new, like mine )... so first i add my site url to most search engines... then later i will see... for now i leave my site open.
